In March, McConnell wrote an editorial in The Courier-Journal calling for a repeal to President Obama’s health care law. Since then, Yarmuth has been hammering the Senator and wrote a letter to McConnell challenging him to a public debate.

Yarmuth says McConnell is lying about key reforms in the law and he has to be held accountable.

“Mitch and I represent the same people,” Yarmuth told Bashir. “And it’s part of my responsibility to make sure my constituents have accurate information about policies on the federal level that affect them.”
